Memorial Portraits
Drew creates portraits of loved ones to help with the grieving process. It is a way to manifest their spirit into an artwork you can treasure forever. Art is the language of the soul, and when death has touched us, the soul needs kindness, poetry, and ways to be expressed.
Techniques
Drew has unique techniques to capture the spirit of a loved one. He often weaves the story of a person into the drawing of the face. He uses earth pigments, oil pastels, ash and charcoal from sacred fires.
How it Started
Drew has learnt the importance of the soulful nature Art brings to the grieving process, which is why he is honoured to offer this service to anyone who feels it will help them. He was asked to draw a little girl awaiting heart surgery in hospital. The impact of this drawing was so profound on her that another mother in the hospital asked Drew to draw her daughter too, to bring a piece of peace in such a difficult time.
Healing Process
